Welcome to "Fueling Tomorrow’s Entrepreneurs: A LaunchX Podcast" where we explore what it means to balance ambition with purpose - because true success isn’t just about the money or the views - it’s about the impact we make and the lives we touch along the way.
I’m your host Rachel, a fellow gen-z serial entrepreneur and today I am chatting with someone who completely redefined how I think about success: Kevin McMullin, founder and Chief Education Officer of Collegewise.
Kevin started Collegewise back in 1999 by literally driving to students’ houses and helping them with college applications. Since then, he’s helped thousands of students apply to college and rethink what “success” actually means.
In this episode, we talk about toxic application culture, why prestige shouldn’t define your future, what colleges really care about, and how students can take ownership of their stories. I also admit that I applied to Harvard - twice - and got rejected both times. This episode turned into part therapy, part pep talk. I hope you love it as much as I did.
